Since 1981, the Telluride Mushroom Festival has brought
together leading mycologists, artists, foragers
and enthusiasts to explore all things fungi.
We focus on science, culture, and community—covering topics like psychedelic research, cultivation, decriminalization, and identification. More than just a festival, it is an annual reunion for fungi folks to gather and celebrate fungi and their impact on our world.
We hope to see you in the San Juans this August!


"Join us on a series of outings to explore the magnificent lakes, wildflower-filled forests, and lush meadows of the Lakes Basin and Sierra Valley, where we will encounter and discuss a wide variety of fungi, plants, and animals. We will explore how precipitation, temperature, and other organisms may affect montane ecosystems. We also will talk about how human practices might be affecting these ecosystems."
